This guide is fantastic. Everything from fantastic apps that makes it
very enjoyable to write on the iPad like Editoral and Ulysses; and
accessories like the Compass stand or the Apple Wireless Keyboard.

Check it out if you are interested in how to do serious writing on your
iPad or iPad min.

Great post.

I don’t have a problem with ads, like I have said many times before. But
I do have a problem with all the shitty tracking crap most ad companies
use. Like Marco I have installed Ghostery, and I will look into content
blockers when iOS 9 is out.

The ad companies have crossed a line, many times, and they force more
and more people over to stuff like Ad blocker and Ghostery every time
they cross it. They only have themselves to blame.

Interesting.

Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it
cleaner and more accountable. So we are creating a new company, called
Alphabet. I am really excited to be running Alphabet as CEO with help
from my capable partner, Sergey, as President.

Most of the stuff most of us think about when we hear “Google” will
remain there, while some of the other stuff like for example Nest will
be sister comanies to Google.

It kind of makes sense. But the fact that YouTube is a subsidiary of
Google instead of Alphabet is something I don’t get.

This is bad.

Okay, I have used finger print scanning technolohy on a few different
devices over the year. And there are two good ways to do it, and a
million bad ways. This is one of the bad ones.

IBM / Lenovo used to(and probably still do) not store a image, but
rather a check sum, to verify the finger print. The good thing about
this technique is that the bad guys can’t do anything useful with the
data, if they gain access. The negative is that you need a pretty good
match to unlock your device. And the other thing I liked about their
technology was that you slided you finger over the sensor, and didn’t
place it, which means no-one can make a copy of it.

Apple. They simply store the fingerprint on a secure element in phone.
Where you just can compare what you got to what they got. In other
words: your fingerprint isn’t in the cloud, in your backups and most
important bad apps can’t make a copy.

Customers of the oft-criticized security and performance program
MacKeeper have until Nov. 30 to file a claim for reimbursement, the
result of a proposed class-action suit settlement.

Great news. I fucking hate MacKeeper. The product is one thing, but
their shitty marketing and scamming tactics are something entirely
different. If Onyx and
CleanMyMac are two complimentary tools
that do some thing; the only difference is that they don’t scam people,
and they work.

Haha! Good one. I have been going back and forth on this a few times,
but I have come to the conclusion that
Existential Comics is a good “starter
drug” for people that are interested in Philosophy, because you can
always get the explaination at the bottom of the page. And remember: go
back and read some of the originals, they are great.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy talking to people. I do it a lot. My
nightmare (when it comes to living arrangements), though, would be to
really like people I have no buffer from. When my friends and I want
to hang out, we can flake. We can make lame excuses, or we can just
honestly say “I’m not feeling like it.” But if that friend can just
come knock on your door, everything falls apart. I love my neighbor
for the moron that he is, and appreciate the buffer he provides from
the world.
